All Listed in Chalk

" All Listed in Chalk "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

All listed in chalk
managing wars
on blackboards
as travel warnings
for overturned laws

during trade talks
for former refugees
lows in the teens
frigid sunny

hard wired
for happy talk
like Polyanna
of " no matter "
as students
of language habits

drinking colas
and consuming
trans fats per capita
feverishly overactive
while on the lam
memoirs of madness

long-ago events
medical records
aberrant chemistry
morphing
from disciplined
to disorderly

happily manic
rocky pasts
like deers
losing antlers

heads covered
with beekeeper's veils
honey sold
buzzing by the hundreds...
